AcuraAcura had a notably strong month of June driven by renewed focus on product that reflects the brand’s Precision Crafted Performance direction. Notably, the recently revitalized TLX and new MDX Sport Hybrid earned considerable positive attention, helping boost the division 23.7 percent for the month. TLX led Acura car sales with a 10.6 percent increase in June, while RDX led Acura trucks to a 30.9 percent gain.

The new TLX A-Spec is a sought-after model at Acura dealers, helping overall TLX sales gain 12.9 percent on sales of 3,175 units for the month.

RDX set a new all-time June record with a 48.3 percent leap on sales of 5,327 units.

MDX had a strong June, posting 4,210 sales for an increase of 14 percent.

ILX sales rose 6.9 percent on sales of 1,191 units, its best month of 2017.

Adding emphasis to Acura’s performance path, one of Michael Shank Racing’s NSX GT3 cars won at Watkins Glen on Sunday, its second consecutive victory in the IMSA series.

“In a challenging luxury automotive marketplace, reshaping our products around the performance direction of the Acura brand is clearly resonating with luxury car and truck buyers,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president & general manager of the Acura division. “The A-Spec variant has put TLX back on the luxury performance sedan map, while the sporty virtues of MDX and RDX continue to speak for themselves in strong sales.”
